Bayern Munich’s young striker, Mathys Tel, has been at the centre of speculations, following the reports of his potential departure from the club.
According to The Athletic UK, Bayern are open to a loan move for their 19-year-old star, who is reportedly unhappy with his lack of gametime.
Earlier this week, Fabrizio Romano claimed that Tottenham Hotspur had made a loan offer for Tel, which was even agreed to by Bayern.
However, the deal did not go through as Mathys Tel rejected Tottenham's proposal to join them this January.
Mathys Tel gives 'green light' to the Manchester United move
According to Sky Sports, the Frenchman is instead interested in joining Tottenham's Premier League rivals Manchester United, with Arsenal also running in the race to sign him.
As per Goal Global, Manchester United saw their initial offer for Tel being rejected by Bayern Munich and have sent an improved offer to try and persuade the Bavarians.
The Red Devils’ new offer for a 6-month loan also includes an option to buy the French striker permanently, which is expected to result in Bayern's agreement to their offer.
With Tel reported to be “very keen” on joining Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of signing the Bayern youngster appear to be fading away.
Arsenal are also reported to back off from the deal after hearing Tel’s decision, as they aimed to sign the Frenchman to cater to their striker problems for a short period of time.
However, as per Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are now only focusing on a permanent striker deal as they aim to sign a high-profile no. 9 in the summer.
The Gunners have now reportedly shifted their focus towards Benjamin Šeško and Alexander Isak, following Ollie Watkins' snub for a potential move to the Emirates Stadium before the end of the winter transfer window.
